Marcus asks Cora for a divorce over breakfast—then calmly asks her to pass the marmalade.

He has another woman, a future already mapped out, and the infuriating belief that he is setting Cora free. Soon, eight years of marriage fit into two suitcases. Cora leaves with the one thing she refuses to surrender: her grandmother’s battered copper whisk.

Then a letter leads her to Alder Cove and a shuttered bakery by the sea.

The roof leaks. The ovens are cold. The money is running out. But rebuilding Marigold gives Cora something her marriage never did—a life that belongs entirely to her.

Until a coastal storm drives a rain-soaked stranger through her door.

By candlelight, Cora feeds Adrian Winslow warm bread without knowing his name, his fortune, or why he has come to town. By the time she discovers that the dangerously compelling stranger is a billionaire with plans for Alder Cove’s waterfront, their attraction is impossible to ignore—and far too risky to trust.

Adrian can open every door Cora needs. But his world comes with contracts, cameras, and the threat of turning her hard-won dream into somebody else’s property. When her past returns and a devastating betrayal makes her question everything, Cora must decide whether Adrian is offering an equal partnership…or the most beautiful cage she has ever seen.

She will never disappear into a man’s life again. If Adrian wants her, he will have to prove that love can make room for all of her.

Butter & Gold is an emotional contemporary billionaire romance filled with slow-burn chemistry, a resilient baker heroine, coastal small-town charm, found family, and a deeply satisfying happily ever after.
